At NUS Libraries, we believe that librarianship is not confined within the stacks. Our team of knowledge professionals actively engages in research, developing better ways of discovering and sharing knowledge, as well as expanding access to knowledge networks.
Over the years, we've had the privilege of being able to share our learning with fellow library professionals through conference presentations, webinars, as well as authoring academic papers and articles. We've been honoured to have our efforts recognised by international bodies within education and librarianship. And we've truly been blessed to have inspired collaborators, benefactors and funders to partner us in innovative work across multiple domains such as Artificial Intelligence, data science, sustainability, digital and informational literacy, collections development and heritage preservation.
This is a brief showcase of some of the awards and achievements that we're most proud of – and we hope it inspires you to discover more about why we're more than just a library!
Our achievements are thanks to our funders, partners, staff and research librarians. We would not be here without you.
In recognition of the significance of NUS Libraries' leadership, our projects receive support from funding agencies such as Temasek Foundation, National Heritage Board, Elsevier Foundation, Oei Tiong Ham Concern and Wan Boo Sow Charity Fund.
